Kerobo claims ltd. Warning!!!!! Take a look at this

whiteice27

I was contacted by kerobo claims last october the sales man name was dean archer. he told me that i had a claim on a egg card and a halifax card and that Kerobo could have these cards written off with in a maximum of 3 months and that 99% of there claims dont even make it to court as the lenders know they will lose. this is of course a big lie!!(lucky for me i only signed up for one card) after months of chasing i finally got hold of kerbo's solicictors ATM who told me my claim would take around 12 to 18 months from now and this process started last october!!!ATM told me that Kerobo had told alot of customers the process only took 3 months and they didnt know why they had lied! when you sign up you can NOT pay the card off so if you are like me and the minimum payment is £100 a month i may have to pay this for 2 years in total and thats just paying the interest!! and here comes the best bit ATM have told me that the card may not even be written off!!! so i could be paying all of that interest for nothing. i have been so stupid and want to warn others about kerobo.please see the email below ATM sent this to me a couple of weeks ago kerobo even tried talking there way out of this. in my opinion kerobo are a bunch of liars who just want your money! BE WARNED! please dont just take my word for it just take a min and do a google search on them and see the hundreds of bad feedback. i have reported them to the moj like so many others.


(Kerobo claims used to use ATM solicitors that processed all of there claims until a couple of weeks ago) ATM did have a office right next door to kerobo but after kerobo starting selling services that did'nt exsist ATM stopped dealing with them and moved offices. this a copy of a email that ATM sent to me a couple of weeks ago. this proves how kerobo runs there bussiness im surprised they havnt all ready been closed down for this

We are no longer accepting referrals from Kerobo Limited (“Kerobo”). This will not affect how we deal with your case. However other than to advise the case is complete and pay any required referral fee, we will only provide an update to Kerobo on request if you have written to us providing us with written authority to do so.
It has come to our attention that Kerobo have contacted a number of our clients to advise that their claim has been concluded. Further Kerobo have written to a number of clients without our knowledge or authority offering or selling a legal indemnity policy and suggesting that we may undertake other legal work for them or deal with their case more quickly for payment of a fee. This is not the case.
Please therefore treat any request for further payment with caution and contact us if you have any concerns in this regard. We can confirm that Kerobo do not have our authority to sell legal indemnity or insurance policies on our behalf , they have no authority to use our letterhead and they have no authority to suggest what legal work or otherwise we may undertake for a client or advise a case we are dealing with is complete or will be dealt with more quickly.
If you are contacted by Kerobo , we would be grateful if you could let us know, so that we can take legal action against them should the need arise. You may also wish to make a complaint to the Ministry of Justice.

Companies like this prey on desperation, most charge a large up front fee.

All they do is a £1 CCA Request.

Debt is NEVER written off, and they will default on you if you stop paying, the full information is here - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2305463

heard the saying, it sounds to good to be true?

you need to check companies house as im sure the guy who owns kerobo also owns atm sol.

That why they where in the same offices

Hi
Kerobo and ATM are not owned by the same person, they are separate outfits and that is why ATM refuse to work with Kerobo anymore, down to them falsely offering indemnity policies.
HOWEVER....if you do a search on the companies house website and look for Kerobo Limited and then search Delete UK Limited - they are registered at the same address!!!!!!!
So if anyone has any calls from Delete UK Limited, I think, matter-of-factly, you will still be dealing with the staff of Kerobo Claims!!! Sneaky huh!??
I dont know how these compnaies get away with it!

Now this is an interesting bunch...

Last September I contacted them after hearing the ad for the millionth time on radio. I spoke to Senior Claims Assessment Officer (Matthew Hunt) who sent me all the info. After carefully reading through it, I agreed to pay £500 on the understanding that it would be refunded if their Solicitors (ATM Solicitors - who shared same offices and whose 08545 number was 1 after their own).

I regularily contacted Kerobo for updates and got told 'theres a backlog due to bad weather etc of Dec/Jan'. My last contact was with Matthew on 16 February 2010 who said:-

[FONT=&quot]You are correct, if they can’t provide an original copy of your signed, executed credit agreement then we will be able to get the debt deemed unenforceable very quickly[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I will give the appropriate department a nudge so you get an update as soon as one is available[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Kind regards[/FONT]

I did some digging on MSE last night and got the name etc of their solicitors (and noting that they have gne their seperate ways!). I emailed Kerobo and ATM and got a phone call from ATM at 10am! They said they stopped doing business early February - most likely BEFORE my last email form Kerobo... They also said my claim had been cancelled in December as they didnt get the correct paperwork from Kerobo... Wheres my £500 refund??? I think I will invest some time on the phone tomorrow!!

As I never signed an original (so the finance company wont have one either!!), what are the thoughts of approaching the finance company directly to see if I can do this myself??? Do-able??

Just done somemore research on MoJ & OFT websites... w w w .oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/press/2010/05-10

Not much chance there then!

So let's see, you owe money on a credit card and a company ring you up suggesting you can avoid paying what you owe due to maybe a loophole, they rip you off because you wanted to rip the credit card company off. Maybe next time you will pay your cards off legally that way those of us who do will not have to pay extra for those who don't.

I suppose actually paying back what you borrowed is not an option.

That would be like having an accident and not claiming for whiplash!:rotfl:
